An immediate annuity is a product sold by insurance companies that is designed to provide you with an income stream for life. The income, by definition, is designed to start immediately - although some immediate annuities allow you to defer payments for up to one year. This annuity calculator is designed to help you estimate your monthly payments from an immediate annuity.
